It has a real value, DVLA have many 51 PNK plates to choose from
CY51 PNK £499
TO51 PNK £499
MY51 PNK £499
Thats not 'value', thats 'price'. Most of the plates the DVLA advertise will never sell to anyone but they are available to search from as the DVLA doesn't issue them until they are purchased.CY51 PNK £499

Try re-selling any of those once you've bought them. You'd be lucky to top 100 quid on Ebay.

Well my plate I guess would fetch nothing on ebay, but I paid £400 for it from DVLA. But if I looked up people with the same name as my wife on electoral roll, and wrote them a letter offering it for sale, it's quite possible I could get more than I paid for it.Try re-selling any of those once you've bought them.

Plates are often so personal that a failure of advertising can mean you get nothing for the plate. But it doesn't mean it's worthless.
When a seller is an active buyer, the correct price should be based on similar selling prices to motivated buyers (i.e. what DVLA charges), not what it would fetch in an Ebay auction to scavengers.

Would you consider HU11 AFC or HU11 CTY to be ordinary or personalised plates?
The later went for 46K to somebody that was substantially outbid on the former, which was rumoured to have gone for between 100-250k. This is despite them being part of the 'ordinary' sequences. Now these are not C0MIC or MAG1C but still what matters to the value is the meaning it conveys.
SA51 PNK is pretty clear and IMHO worth a lot more than £250-300 figures being bandied around.
Searching the dvla plates site the prices for most SA51 *** are the £600+ range without a meaningful latter part that SA51 PNK has.
I think if the owner offered it to reg brokers they would value it around the 2k mark.
I'm interested to know how the owner came to know about this thread?
If it went on a reg broker site at £2k it would never sell.

The HU11 AFC or HU11 CTY and plates like these are pulled out and put aside as the DVLA knows they have value at auction. What they go for is a lottery.
Obviously a wealthy Hull City fan wanted the plate, it's supply and demand (and it's obvious what they both spell.
SA51 PNK has limited appeal as it doesn't mean anything.
As promised.....Well I accepted an offer for SA51PNK tonight. Obviously its not over until the money is in the bank, but seems all OK. As for value, I'll have to leave you all in the dark.
Its been interesting to see how much interest it all created, and it just shows how the internet can work....

As an example SA51 RED is £799 from DVLA or £700 from alternative plate site. Just to give a comparative value.
Not really a comparison though, SA 51 RED has many more options,(albeit illegal or just plain crap ones).RED is a more obvious word than PNK.
SA5 1 RED is probably more appropiate than an SAS chap who likes er PNK
SA S1R ED etc

SA51 would be the same on either plate, they would be grouped together which is legal.
PNK was for Pink.
RED was a suggestion as she has a Red car.
Anyway looks like the OP has bought it!

It's been stated he only wanted PNK ( not RED /BLU or anything else) as SA51PNK is as close to sasi-pink as he will find, and it's relevant to an old nickname of hers or such like.
You haven't grasped at all what I said above,so I'll counter with try reading my post.
Anyway,it's bought now, so irrelevant.
